TWO weeks ago, dozens of cars were set alight in the French city of Clermont-Ferrand after a 30-year-old truck driver, Wissam El-Yamni, was roughed up and then died while in police custody. The uproar underscored the hostility of young minority men toward authority across communities in Europe, an antipathy that has at times led to deadly violence.

The failure of Islamic integration in Europe is often attributed  especially by right-wing parties  to an excess of tolerance toward the large-scale Muslim immigration that began in the mid-1970s. By recognizing Muslim religious requirements, the argument goes, countries like France, Britain and the Netherlands have unwittingly hindered assimilation and even, in some cases, fostered radicalism. But the unrest in gritty European suburbs stems not from religious difference, but from anomie.

Europeans should not be afraid to allow Muslim students to take classes on Islam in state-financed schools and universities.

The state outsourced the hard work of integration to foreign diplomats and Islamist institutions  for example, some students in Germany read (Filthy) Saudi-supplied textbooks in (Filthy) Saudi-run institutions.

That would be - my best guess - the King Fahd Academy (which has indeed gathered some notority) in Bonn, with all of 170 students of Arab families temporarily stationed in that former German capital. So technically, yes, some students read these Saudi-supplied textbooks. (Are there more than that institution that you know of which would merit the plural form?)

A total non-issue compared to some millions of muzzie infiltrators who reject Western values and choose to establish their own "communities" instead.

And I've really grown to dislike all that "integration" rethoric that deflects from the underlying problems. It should be either assimilation or "back you go!"

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris — car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam — Mohammed cartoons).
